Personally, I stay away from belt driven timing mechanism engines. When it snaps (and it will), the engine is almost always done as the engine will destroy itself. You get downtime and hassle because the manufacturer chose to cut corners (in guise of giving you a more silent engine).

Best is gear driven, then silent chain, then belt but try to stick with the first two whenever possible.

Hopefully your friend's engine will be covered by hyundai warranty (and we're all familiar how horrific claiming warranty from Hyundai is).

Most cars use timing chains now. Toyota and Hyundai use timing chains In all their vehicles. Im guessing the belt being talked about is the drive belt. Maybe some pulley was wobbling or the tensioner was loose.

If its the timing chain, there was a timing chain tensioner that needed replacement in hyundai forums for one elantra.

thorough inspection lng. check brake pads medyo pricey original pads. last atf change, normally this is done 45k/60k, last engine oil change. fuel filter change is 45k/60k.

if suspect of flooding, you can remove the rear seats with a socket, two bolts, i think its a 17/19 or 21mm check. also remove the spare tire. check the bottom part.

engine sound after cold start, this is one of the several topics in hyundai-forums...

aside from that, my hyundai mechanic didn't mention anything else about the car.
